in thread File::Temp randomness when forking

File::Temp exists exactly because it is ... surprisingly hard to avoid all traps that come with temporary file generation.

Thanks, this was my thinking precisely. I have some code I use to generate unique IDs using $$ and various other vars, which would have worked fine, but I figured it was about time I learn File::Temp. Also, I'm lazy ;->
